Spring Litter Pick & 'Clean for the Queen'

This year we are teaming up our ever popular Spring Community Litter Pick with the nationwide ‘Clean for the Queen’ event to celebrate the Queen’s 90th birthday.

Come along and enjoy a companionable walk whilst collecting any litter on our most well walked footpaths and bridleways.

Join us at Whites Field car park on Sunday 17th April at 10:00. There are varying lengths of footpaths so if you can only spare an hour, there will be a walk for you. We plan to finish by 12:30 latest.

Make sure you bring suitable clothing including gardening gloves (or similar) and suitable footwear.

Thermal Imaging Feedback Evening

We had an excellent turnout at our recent Thermal Imaging Feedback evening, our best ever yet. The majority of people who had their property imaged were able to attend and have one-to-one feedback with one of our interpreters. Also on hand was Dale Hoyland from The National Energy Foundation to offer some excellent advice on energy efficiency and grants. Many thanks Dale, as always, your input was invaluable.

If you missed Dale at the event, there is another opportunity to speak to him at the FoE's AGM on Thursday 14th April in the Village Centre, 7.30 pm – 9.30 pm where Dale will be talking about 'Warm homes for less money'.

As in previous years all participants were emailed a copy of their report to digest at their leisure.
Many thanks to Will, Mike and Alan for interpreting the results and to Maureen and Jane for the lovely cakes.

All who participated in this years project have been emailed a questionnaire for feedback on their experience and are pleased the comments we are receiving are very useful and positive. If you have not yet completed the questionnaire, we would be grateful if you could do as soon as possible. This will enable us to continue to improve this valuable free service for next years participants. The feedback and comments are anonymous and an overall report, with responses to comments will be duly published.

Thermal Imaging Feedback Evening

All welcome to come along to our Thermal Imaging Feedback Evening on Wednesday 2nd March.

This is the culmination of our 2016 Thermal Imaging Project where Greening Chinnor imaged 25 properties.

The evening is an opportunity for householders to have a one-to-one feedback session with one of our interpreters to find out how heat efficient their property is.

Once again Dale Hoyland, Strategic Development & Affordable Warmth Manager from The National Energy Foundation (an independent national charity) will be joining us to give out information and advice.

It is also an opportunity to find out about this free service offered by Greening Chinnor volunteers and to see how you could benefit. The list for next year is now open and if you would like to put you property down for this free service, this is a good time to do so as places are limited.
